LIFE AND DEATH.

"There is no question that can be propounded of such universal and absorbing interest as this:"-" Compared with it all other inquiries sink into absolute insignificance.”

TWO DEPARTED SPIRITS;

WHOSE LEAVING THIS WORLD

GAVE RISE TO THE FOLLOWING INQUIRY

REGARDING THE STATE OF THE DEAD,

AND THE FUTURE CONDITION

OF THE HUMAN RACE,

THIS WORK

IS DEDICATED,

IN AFFECTIONATE REMEMBRANCE,

BY THE AUTHOR.

"What is that Life which keeps us from the dead?
And whither hold our Souls their mystic way
When from their mortal mansion they have fled?
Sleep they as senseless as their mould'ring clay?
Can they feel joy, or woe, and need they lodgement
Ere bodies rise up at the day of judgment?"

AND
